The Armed Republic of Monolithistan is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Glorious Supreme Overlord Bob the Great with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, national health service, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.631 billion Comrades are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The citadel of Bob. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Monolithistanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,334 trillion Sandys a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 236,938 Sandys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Coastal cities are being moved a dozen miles inland to reduce flooding risk, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and the military will start wars with other nations on a lark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monolithistan's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of The Monolith.

Monolithistan is ranked 301,551^st in the world and 165^th in Hell for Fattest Citizens, with 4.35 Obesity Rate.
